Dear Rabbi? What happens if I cook
potatoes in a pan that I usually use for cooking meat in? Do
I have to wait six hours like if I had eaten beef?

Dear Alan Sauer,

If you eat food that is parve
- neither milk nor meat - which was cooked using clean "meat"
utensils, you don't need to wait six hours before eating milk
foods. Likewise, parve foods cooked in clean dairy utensils
may be eaten immediately after meat.
